Manage REST Proxy Nodes
This topic contains information to help you understand how the REST proxy is used, add enrollments to the REST proxy, and view and edit the REST proxy nodes.
How's the REST Proxy Used?
The REST proxy maps an application identity to a blockchain member, which allows users and applications to call the Oracle Blockchain Platform REST APIs.
Instead of using the native Hyperledger Fabric APIs, Oracle Blockchain Platform can use the REST proxy to interact with the Hyperledger Fabric network. When you use the native Hyperledger Fabric APIs, you connect to the peers and orderer directly. However, the REST proxy allows you to query or invoke a Fabric chaincode through the RESTful protocol.
Add Enrollments to the REST Proxy
You can add Hyperledger Fabric enrollments to the REST proxy. Enrollments allow users to call the REST proxy without an enrollment certificate.
Use the Blockchain Platform console to add new enrollments and associate IDCS users with these enrollments. The enrollments are managed entirely within Blockchain Platform, not within IDCS.
For information about how users access the REST resources, see REST API for Oracle Blockchain Platform.
View and Edit the REST Proxy Node Configuration
A REST proxy node’s configuration determines how the node performs and behaves on the network.
View Health Information for a REST Proxy Node
You can check a REST proxy node’s metrics to see how the node is performing on the blockchain network. This information helps you discover and diagnose performance problems.
